Embattled former SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng could challenge the outcome of a disciplinary enquiry which resulted in him being booted from the SABC.
Motsoeneng's lawyer Zola Majavu said he will soon be meeting his client to discuss a way forward.
“Mr Motsoeneng has informed me of his desire to challenge the ruling and has instructed me to prepare to do so‚” Majavu said.
“He wants to challenge the ruling and I suggested that we meet on Monday once we have both applied our minds to the matter and discuss the exact points we will challenge. I will consult with him and once a decision has been made‚ he will instruct me accordingly.”
Motsoeneng confirmed to TshisaLIVE that he had received the ruling. However‚ he declined to comment on what he planned to do in the aftermath of his dismissal.
“I don’t want to talk about my future or my plans because my focus right now is on this legal matter‚” he said.
Motsoeneng was officially fired from the public broadcaster on Monday after being found guilty of misconduct‚ relating to comments he made at a media briefing in April.
During the briefing‚ Motsoeneng criticised SABC board members and a parliamentary committee that was looking into alleged irregularities at the public broadcaster.
The outcome of Motsoeneng’s disciplinary hearing was announced after the SABC’s interim board met with Communications Minister Ayanda Dlodlo.
